The Colonists are rather peaceable, and the com plaints of the masters respecting the conduct of the black apprentices, have more of the tone of habitual petulance, than of the resentment of real injury in them. In fact, the manumitted labourers seem to conduct themselves in a manner quite as orderly and as peaceable as their masters. Dr. MACDON NELL, the Catholic Bishop of the Island of Gre nada, addressed a memorial to Sir LIONEL SmITH, the Governor-General, praying his Excellency to ask the House of Assembly for funds for the support of four Catholic clergymen, for the service of the island. The Bishop stated that there were upwards of twenty thousand Catholics in the island, and that unless some temporary provision was made for the support of Ca tholic clergymen, they, must be deprived of all religious consolation. His Excellency the Governor referred the memorial of the Prelate to the House of Assembly. The following extract from the Jamaica Despatch must satisfy the most scrupulous minds of the inten sity of the religious devotion of the West Indians : mitaui UR p • , HAMBURG, AUGUST 26, 1836. to nena s , and a ll th ose w h o may h ave to write us, are req uested to be particular in directing, lad at, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, thtt Uerson having to remit money to us, is requested to observe it 301:610liamburgh Steamer a letter containing one Bank Note, be Lbt age ; 9 0/. or any higher amount whatever, is liable to double 'ote s, :7; 30/. for instance remitted in three Ten Pound I,l,tage.

In this address they P r i th at " the dispositions and feelings of the Romish Lavestheod towards Popery are precisely what they pole s alway-been, altogether intolerant and persecuting. m ay, and obviously does, limit and repress the ar k f n „ 4 tation of these feelings by the want of power ;" e r danger of retaliation ; but nothing can be te::• - 4111 Y or perfectly established, than that the sai n • . lo w f „ ° Principles which in former times deluged the ountries and the vallies of Piedmont with blood, W e l t ,Prompted the massacre of St. Bartholomew, stor e 'igoted up the fires of Smithfield, are still kept in both, be for calling 4w a gainst the tim e when a fitting opportunity may th em . into exercise in one, if not in throughoutof the British islands."

Our enemies in the mother country most grossly calumniate us when they state that we have no regard for the morals of the peasantry of Jamaica. Be this as it may, it cannot be attributed to the inhabitants ; as we venture to assert that there is no spot of equal extent on the face of the earth, where so many prayers ought to be sent up to the throne of Grace in favour of 350,000 sinners I Holy reader—gentle reader—and ye who are our calum niators—look at the following list of those who so kindly in terest themselves for the salvation of our immortal souls : 1 Bishop. 1 Archdeacon. 75 Clergymen of the Established Church.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Jonathan Holcomb and John Beck were indicted for steal ing on the 10th August thirty yards of cloth, twenty-five yards of silk, four yards velvet, and other articles, the property of Louis Stetcher, from his dwelling-house. The prosecutor said he was a tailor residing in Argyle street, St. James's, Westminster, ; the prisoner Holcomb had been his errand boy. On the night in question, when he went to bed, all his doors and windows were fastened. At a little after twelve, his wife gave an alarm, and he went down stairs, and found his front door open ; he saw a boy run away, and followed him, but did not overtake him. When he returned, and procured a light, he found the articles mentioned tied up for removal. They were at night safe in his parlour, which was then locked. The goods had been removed through a win dow, and carried into the passage. Wm. Trowbridge, foreman to the last witness, deposed that when he came in the morning of the 1 1th of August, he found that a robbery had taken place. He and an officer went to Holcomb's house, and found him. On being told what he was taken for, he said that Beck was in it. Beck, on being told that said, if so, he had better make a confession. Witness would not hear anything till they were before a Magistrate. John Giblin, a policeman, was called by the prosecutor, and he and last witness went to Holcomb's house. In consequence of what he said, Beck was taken into custody. When Beck was taken to Stetcher's house, he said that Holcomb put him up to the robbery, and that they did it, and took the property to a house in Monmouth-street. Nothing was found in that house. A parcel of goods was brought to prosecutor's house, about two hours after Holcomb was taken into custody, by his father. The last witness told Holcomb that it would be better for him to tell the truth. He made a statement before the Magistrate. Mr. DOANE submitted that the promise made to Holcomb prevented that statement from being given in evidence. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said there was much doubt on the point, and it might be reserved. He would admit the evidence at present. `Witness said, when Holcomb was asked by the Magistrate what he meant to do with the property, he said he meant to take it to a Jew in Monmouth-street. Troubridge recalled. Saw the statement made by Beck taken down, and attested it. The clerk read it, and it impli cated Holcomb as the instigator of the robbery, which was done by them two and another. They got in before the men left the shop, and concealed themselves in the coal-hole till all had gone to bed, when they effected the robbery, and sold some of the goods to a Jew in Monmouth-street. The Learned JUDGE shortly recapitulated the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. John Hamilton and Henry Knight were indicted for stealing two pieces of lawn, the property of George Revell, a draper of Newington. About twelve o'clock on the 25th August, the two prisoners were seen standing in Newington Causeway, by two shopmen of the prosecutor's. They went up to the window, broke it, and took out two pieces of lawn. They were immediately seized, and the property found upon Hamilton. The prisoners said nothing in their defence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Hamilton, and Not Guilty in favour of Knight: Henry Knight was then indicted for stealing, on the same day, a quantity of silk-handkerchiefs, the property of John Kennaird. A little boy, named James Day, was passing Mr. Kennaird's shop, where he saw the prisoner put his hand into the window and take a quantity of silk-handkerchiefs, with which he went off. There were others along with him. He was quite sure of the prisoner, though he had not seen him before. Only one silk-handkerchief was found upon the prisoner ; it was a new one, and the prosecutor said he had lost many of the same pattern.—Verdict, Guilty. List THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Both at the Re gent's Park and Wa.'worth the animals are being removed to their winter quarters, and everything assumes a winterly ap pearance. Very excellent preparations have been made at both places for the accommodation of the giraffes, in the former by means of heated air, whilst Mr. Cross has adopted the plan of affording additional heat by means of animals placed in neigh bouring dens, and in neither case do these tender animals as yet appear to suffer from the inclemency of the weather. Amongst the recent additions to the latter are two huge grisly bears, from North America, of a larger size than any that have previously been seen in this country. The giraffes in the Re gent's Park Gardens still continue occupants of the Elephant House, but great progress is being made in the house pre paring for them, which it is expected will be ready for their reception by November. time, a ballet, La File die Danube Notre Dame de Paris, an opera in five acts, the words by Victor Hugo, and music by Madlle. Bertin ; and Stradella, the words by M. E. Pacini, and music by Niedermeyer. The new ballet was to be per formed on the 21st of this month (yesterday). NEW COURT. Frederick Broughton, 18, a respectably-dressed young man, was indicted for stealing a diamond pin, value 81., the property of John Price, from his person. It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses examined, that the prosecutor, who had been drinking, went into a public house in Horsemonger-lane, where he fell asleep. The pri soner was sitting in the same room, and was observed by a little boy to take the pin from the person of the prosecutor.--Guilty. John Cluster, 17, was indicted for stealing a jacket and pair of trousers, value 10s., the property of Wm. George Bracegirdle. The prosecutor is the master of a fishing smack, which was lying off Greenwich, and on the night of the 2d of August, the property in question, which belonged to one of the pro secutor's boys, was stolen from the cabin, and was proved to have been pledged by the prisoner at the shop of a pawnbroker named Bolton, on the following day.—Guilty. Mary Anne Beach, aged 23, a smart-looking young wo man, with a child in her arms, was charged with stealing two shawls from the shop of Laurence Kennedy, a pawnbroker, of Sh ad well. From the evidence of the pawnbroker's young man, it ap peared that the prisoner had been in the shop on the 23d of August, and on the following day the shawls were missed, and the prisoner came and offered to sell them. The prisoner, in her defence, said that she had been sent by a neighbour, a Mrs. Jones, to sell them for her. Mrs. Jones had since absconded. The Learned SERGEANT remarked upon the improbability of the prisoner having stolen the shawls, and offering them at the same place next day. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. Maly Anne Stewart was indicted for stealing a jacket, value 75., the goods of Henry Mills. The prosecutor, a filthy and ragged looking specimen of humanity, who announced himself as a coal-heaver, deposed that he was in Ratclitt highway on the evening of the 6th inst., on the look-out for a lodging, when he saw the prisoner stand ing at her own door, and she nodded at him. Witness re turned the salute, of course, and she asked him would he stand a shy ?—( Laughter.) He was then invited in, and a pint of beer was sent for, of which the woman drank three go's, and left witness a sup at the bottom. He then asked her if she would stand a bed.--( Much laughter.) Prisoner replied, if you stand a shilling I'll stand a bed and sleep witk you 1 Wit ness told her he had no money, but it was at length agreed that he should sleep up stairs, and two pots of beer were drank " on the strength of it." The COMMON SERGEANT—The strength of what ? Pro secutor—The strength of our acquaintance, your Honour. I then went to bed, and what does my lady but she ups and puts on my breeches, savin' your favour.—(Roars of laughter.) She went off then, and came back when I was asleep and stole my jacket. The COMMON SERGEANT—Yon did'nt see that ? Witness— I felt her, your Honour, and that's all the same. COMMON SERGEANT—What became of the trowsers? Wit ness—Oh, faix I I pulled them off of her. COMNION SERGEANT—Was she drunk or sober? Witness —Sober as a Judge, I'll be bound.—( Much laughter.) The prisoner in her defence stated that the prosecutor had given her the jacket to pledge, as he had no money, and the jury acquitted her. John Snzith, aged 20, and William Jones, aged 17, were indicted for stealing four shirts, the property of James Maze Kilner, from the West India Dock. Verdict—Guilty. Martha .Berridge was indicted for stealing 121 b. of beef, value Gs., from the shop of James Smith, a butcher, at Twickenham. It appeared that the prisoner had been for some time in a state of great destitution, and having received a very good cha racter, she was sentenced to be imprisoned for ten days, and discharged. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS (THIS DAY)• Mr. NI'WiLLI am, at the sitting of the Court, begged to call the attention of the Chairman and his brother Magistrates to the great waste of time that had taken place in obtaining a full Jury, in consequence of the extremely faulty state of the Jury List. In the present Session, no less than two hours at a time had been occupied in obtaining a Jury. As the forth coming week was the period in which the Magistrates revised the lists, he would, if it met with the concurrence of the Chairman and his brother Magistrates, propose sending a let ter to all the Magistrates, calling their attention to the incon venience, and begging their utmost endeavours to prevent it. The CHAII(NIAN, after Mr. M'William had handed him the letter, said that he concurred with Mr. M'William in the ob servations he had made with respect to the great waste of time that had taken place in obtaining juries, in consequence of the imperfect state of the Jury List ; but it oug ht to be publicly known that the real fault of all that had taken place was not with the Magistrates, but the overseers, who had been most careless in their returns of jurors. It was perhaps not gene rally known that this was considered a very great offence, and subjected any overseer so neglecting his duty to a very heavy fine. He hoped the statements he had now made would go forth to the public, and that in future overseers would be more careful in the performance of their duty ; if they were not, he should fearlessly perform his, and try whether a fine of 501. would not have some effect. This being Appeal day, the Court then proceeded to hear appeals. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) HATTON-GARDEN.

We regret exceedingly to hear that a misunderstand ing exists between a portion of the pitmen of this district and their employers. The chief cause of discontent we believe to be an impression, whether well or ill-founded, that the corves or baskets in which the coals are brought from the mine to bank have been larger than they ought to have been, and that the pitmen have in consequence received less money for working them than they were entitled to.— Tyne Mercury. Dr. Bowring left town this morning for Paris. THE MULETEER.—The Muleteer, the general medium of traffic, crosses the Peninsula from the Pyrenees and the Asturias to the Alpuxarras, the Serrania de Ronda, and even to the gates of Gibraltar. He lives frugally and hardily ; his alforjas of coarse cloth hold his scanty stock of provisions ; a leathern bottle hanging at his saddle-bow, contains wine or water, for a supply across barren mountains and thirsty plains. A small cloth spread upon the ground is his bed at night, and his pack-saddle is his pillow. His low but clean-limbed and sinewy form betokens strength ; his complexion is dark and sunburnt ; his eye resolute, but quick in its expression, except when kindled by sudden emotion—his demeanour is frank, manly, and courteous, and he never passes you without a grave salutation, " Dios quande a usted Va ustad con Dios ."' " God guard you ! God be with you, Cavalier !" Washington lrvino. DEATH OF ROBERT ROE, ESQ.—With the most sincere regret we have to announce the death of Robert Roe, Esq., one of the most eminent, as well as intellectual, mer chants of this city. The melancholy event took place at his country residence, Sans Souci, near this city, yesterday morn ing. In politics he was a Liberal of the best kind, being a safe and practical politician. We do not know another man whose death would have left so melancholy a chasm in society._ Dublin Evening Post. A correspondent has furnished us with the following copy of an inscription on a tombstone in Irongray church yard, near Dumfries. Most probably it has been published before, but it will stand reprinting :—" This stone was erected by the author of Waverley, to the memory of Helen Walker, who died in the year of God, 1791. This humble individual practised, in real life, the virtues with which fiction has in vested the imaginary character of Jeanie Deans, refusing the slightest departure from veracity, even to save the life of a sister; she, nevertheless, showed her kindness and fortitude in rescuing her from the severity of the law, at the expense of personal exertions, which the time rendered as difficult as the motive was laudable. Respect the grave of poverty when combined with love of truth and dear affection."—Greenock Advertiser. SINGULAR. CASE OF LONGEVITY.—On the 12th of August, a party of gentlemen, before going to the moors, paid a visit in the Glen of Rothes, county of Elgin, to an old woman, in her 102 d year, and on going to the summit of the hill on which her cottage stands they looked down upon four adjoining parishes, the pastoral charge of four Clergymen, whose united ages amount to 333 1 The most veteran of thaw Ministers is in his 87th year, another is 84, another 83, and the youngest 79. The climate of Morayshire has been long famed for its salubrity, rendering it in some measure the Montpelier of Scotland, and a more remarkable proof of this could hardly be adduced than that of these aged Ministers, who have so long seen the sun rise and set, day after day, and Sabbath after Sabbath, amid the beautiful and interesting scenes where their lot is cast.—lnverness Paper. Major-General R. Ellice does not succeed General Ross in the Lieutenant-Governorship of Guernsey, having been appointed Commander-in• Chief of the western district, in the place of Sir Willoughby Cotton, who takes the com mand at Bombay. General Ross's fuuctions cease on the 26th of this month. THE PHOENIX.—It is well known to our readers that this steamer was a very formidable opponent to the Car lists the ether day, her "long Tom" dealing out immense slaughter and confusion in their ranks ; but, after all, she nearly fell a victim by getting agrou n d i n a very awkward po sition, which the Carlists took advantage of, and opened on her a very galling fire ; she, however, fortunately escaped their lovino. kindness. The Plumb; has since returned to England, and was docked here last Wednesday. On the water leaving her keel a keg, supposed to have contained brandy, was dis covered to be jammed between the splinters of the keel as neatly as if arranged by the most experienced smuggler.--Plymouth Journal. The Duke of Rutland and his Grace's visitors, during their sojourn at Longshawe, killed 988 grouse, and about 100 black game. His Grace, accompanied by the Mar quis of Granby, left Longshawe on Monday last, for Chats worth, on a visit to the Duke of Devonshire ; from thence they proceeded to Leicester, to attend the races at that place.

COALS.—There was a meeting on Tuesday of the shipo wners o f t h e p or t o f S un d er l an d at the Exchange, " for the purpose of taking into consideration a letter received from the Secretary of the Coal Trade, announcing the intention of the COAL-OWNERS to raise the price of the best coals two shil lings per chaldron, from the Ist of October next—a measure which the Committee of the Society submit cannot be suffi ciently deprecated, and ought not to be submitted to." The number of ships that passed the Sound in the month of August was—from the North Sea 764, from the Baltic 869; total 1,633. Of the former 230, and of the latter 236 (in all 466) were English. AN ENGLISH HAT IN THE EAST.—It iS not a difficult matter to become the wonder of a city ; and as yet unconscious of the way in which I had merited to be one, I followed the crowd, as the evening approached, towards the convent. When we had entered the gate, a little boy, struck by the singular shape of a round hat which I wore, clapped his hands and called out, " Abu-tanjier l Abu-tanjierl" " the fa father of a cooking pot; look at the father of a cooking pot!" This was echoed from every side; for the resemblance a hat bears to the common cooking vessel with a rim to it is too strong to escape, and I was pursued by the shouts of the people till I was nearly out of sight. A woman who had heard the uproar came to her door, and, as I had out-walked the crowd, she could not resist the chance of gratifying her curio sity, and begged me to show her my hat. I took it off with great gravity, an d put i t i n h er h an d s . I b e li eve s h e was dis appointed to find that it was not a cooking pot in reality. I rescued it from h er i n t i me to save i t, or i t m i g h t h ave b een in lodged one of the colleges, as a perpetual puzzle to the learned of the city.—Major Skinner's Adventures in the East. A lady of a certain age, the widow of a superior functionary under Government, retired a few months ago to a convent in the F au b ourg St. Antoine, where she soon became much liked by all the inmates of the house. She had only one fault, that of such an extreme loquacity, that the director o f the convent was unable, in spite of all his remonstrances, to check it. A short time ago, however, she was observed to be come suddenly as silent as she had before been talkative, and a few mornings after was found in bed, with a large wound in her throat, bleeding profusely. On being assisted by a me dical man, and in reply to the questions of the lady at the head of the house, she declared that she had inflicted this wound on herself, with the hopes of stopping her loquacious propensity, by woundi ng t h e th roat at t h e po i n t w h ere t h e voice originated, hoping to render herself dumb for ever. Not withstanding the efforts of the physician, this poor lady died a f e w days after,. the v i ct i m o f a s i ngu l ar ki n d o f i n f atuat i on. — Galigrauz t's Messenger. MONSTER POTATO.—We learn from the Athe r,unt that Prince Charles de Rohan has lately sent a single po tatoe to Paris, under the above denomination, capable of af fording a plentiful meal to more than 20 people.

On the first there will be a hunt, on the second horse races, and on the third a grand review. It is thought that Louis Philippe and the Royal Family will be present. The Compeigne camp is to be broken up in the first days of October. It is a very remarkable fact in the history of forgery, that one of the jury who tried the late Dr. Dodd, was himself within two years afterwards, guilty of a similar breach of the laws, was tried in the same Court of Justice, at the Old Bailey, and executed on the same gallows at Tyburn. Thus we see that the terror of death was in this case as inefficient to prevent the crime as in the instance of Fauntleroy and others. A village pastor was examining his parishioners in their Catechism. The first question in the Heidelberg Cate chism is this,—" What is thy only consolation in life and death ?" A young girl to whom the pastor put this question, laughed, and would not answer. The priest insisted.

Count Matuszevic, the Russian Ambassador at Naples, arrived at Malta in Captain Lyon's beautiful yacht Mischief, on the 31st of August, from Naples.

The St. Leger settling went off quietly. Doncaster, Tuesday Night. None but those who have witnessed it can form an idea of the excitement displayed at Doncaster on the Leger day. It differs essentially from the grand day at Epsom, where the vi sitors, proceeding at once to the course, arc distributed over a much larger surface, and do not. exhibit that enthusiasm for which, at least in racing matters, the north country people are so proverbial. Here there is no occasion for exclaiming, York, you're wanted !" for, wet or dry, a thoroughbred Yorkshireman is sure to see "t' Leger " run for. Missing only the carriage-and-six which formed so stately a feature in the Leger day some twenty Sears ago, we did not recognise any innovation or change in the day's proceedings. There was the same rattling of carriages at all hours of the morning—the same influx of foot people—the same noise, crowding, and con fusion as ever ; every thing , in fact, that we h ave seen f or years, and shall continue to see till the St. Leger s h a ll l ose its high pretensions. As we have before intimated, this, with Yorkshiremen, is a day to be kept ; and we have the authority of many years' experience for asserting that on no forme r oc casion has it been celebrated with more animation, or more productively to the inhabitants ; Christmas day or Good Fri day could not have been more strictly observed. In the morning the betting-room was the focus for specula tors ; upwards of eight hundred were squeezed into it, and business to some amount transacted. About one o'clock it was cleared, and there was a general move towards the course; at this time the streets were so thronged that the foot people who were unacquainted with the shorter and safer road across the fields were in constant danger from the countless visita tions of inexperienced Johns and careless riders, who contri buted to swell the stream of thoughtless sinners anathematised in the affiches which met the eye in every direction. The crowd on the rare-ground was immense ; every spot from which a glimpse of the horses could be obtained was covered; all the minor stands were full, and the grand one crowded to excess, its spacious balconies teeming with beauty and fashion, and its roof trembling beneath the weight of those who were awaiting with throbbing hearts, the eventful race, " big with the fate of thousands." Without infringing upon other duties, we could not give any thing like a complete list of the fashionables ; at present, therefore, we give only a small portion of them, reserving a full account for the end of the meeting.

The following statement of the betting at the breaking up of the ring, will show very few changes of moment from the odds last quoted by us to 4 agst Scroggins, 7 to 1 agst Elis, Bto 1 agst Trapball, 10 to I agst Wedge, 10 to 1 agst Redshank (taken), 14 to 1 agst Beeswing (taken), 20 to 1 agst Vulture, 20 to 1 agst Black Diomond, 30 to 1 agst Sny ders (taken), and any odds agst the others. In the course of the day Snyders was backed - to win nearly twenty thousand pounds at 25 and 30 to 1. The race was appointed to be run at half-past three o'clock, by which time the horses appeared at the post, having previously heard the riot act read (a cant phrase for the starter's instructions), and taken the customary gallops before the grand stand. Vulture, however, was not exactly in the right mood at the moment, nor did The Car penter appear to have any relish for the approaching conflict, so that between the two a couple of false starts occurred, a proof that, however well they manage these things at Doncas ter, they are not quite infallible. At a third effort they got off well, Wedge lying in front until near the Gravel-road, where he resigned the lead to Carew and took second place, having Beeswing, Black Diamond, Redshank, and Locomotive next him, all well laid up ; the two cracks were in the ruck, and Trapball and Snyders in the rear of all. In this order, and at an excellent pace, they travelled over the hill, on sinking which Black Diamond headed Wedge, laid second for about a quarter of a mile, and then began to discover that neither the pace nor the distance suited him. The other horses composing the front rank kept their places, but the two favourites were now seen creeping up from the rear, so as to be very forward at the Red House—there they ran by Carew, followed by Beeswing, Carew retiring to the rear, and Sn3.ders, The Bard, and The Carpenter taking up a position behind the other three. (It was observable that, notwithstanding the pace, there were as yet, no symptoms of tailing.) At the turn near the rails Elis had a commanding* lead, Scroggins and Beeswing running be hind him, and at the distance the three were quite distinct from the other horses ; Eli s having so much the b es t o f t h e andthem ra ce that the only doubt existing was, whi c h o f t h e ot h er two wo uld be second ; at this point the b eaten h orses dropt off very fir st , ut Carew u r after shut u t e p r , then Wedge,Blaek Diamond, Redshank, Lo comotive, and Ebber s t on .

The race was run in about 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Value of the Stakes after the usual deductions, 1,8251., independent of which the Noble Earl and a few of his friends have won an immense sum in betts, Scott's party and nearly all the betting men having lost considerably. It is now the turn of the south country to triumph over the north, their favourite having been trained by a Newmarket groom, and ridden by a Newmarket jockey.

After this race and the Derby who shall deny that public running is the surest criterion, and who shall say that a caravan is not as good a conveyance for a racehorse as it is for an elephant ?
